Course Summary

The MA in Equity and Diversity in Society is designed for students who want to understand and help create fairer, more inclusive communities. This course explores equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), building knowledge on how these values shape our society and influence individuals, families, organisations, and policies. In today’s world, where people from diverse backgrounds work and live together, knowing how to support diversity and equality is essential. This degree builds understanding through areas like social policy, sociology, and social and cultural theory. With a solid foundation in these topics, students develop the skills to address inequalities and support EDI practices professionally. For instance, you’ll study the policies and laws that protect EDI in the UK, like the Equality Act (2010), the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act (2014), and the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). These laws guide how we support fair treatment, especially in education and community services. The course combines educational policy and practice with the latest educational theory and research in EDI, helping students become reflective and effective practitioners. Through a structured set of core modules, students gain practical knowledge and learn to think critically about social policies and their impact on different groups. This reflective approach helps you understand how EDI policies and theories work in real life and how they can adapt to social changes.
